[1] Rǫgn (f.): A hap. leg. The origin and the meaning of this name are obscure. It could be an early name for Rögná in Hnappadalssýsla, Iceland. ÍO: Rögn, Rǫgn 2 also calls attention to such New Norwegian river-names as Ragde, Rogde and Roge (< *Raga), which may be related to ModIcel. raga ‘wander’ and ragla ‘be on the road’. The C variant ‘Ravnd’ (i.e. Rǫnd ‘shield’?) is not otherwise attested as a river-name.
